wine users - Aug 2005 - PowerPoint 2000 freezing with some presentations...

Hi all!

I am having some problems with PowerPoint 2000 running in a wine
0.0.20050725-1 debian package. It works fine when I am creating a new
presentation, but when I am opening old presentations it freezes after
displaying the first slide and I am unable to even exit from ppoint. The
console shows the following:


err:syslevel:_EnterSysLevel (0x7f117380, level 2): Holding 0x7fb1fea0,
level 3. Expect deadlock!

repeated continuously. I am ataching my wine config. Any ideas on what
is the problem/how to solve it? Thanks in advance!

<div>Hi Ignacio,<br>
<br>
I observed a similar bug in the preview mode of the file open dialog
(which is the default). As you observed the freezing only when opening
an existiing presentation I suppose that your problem may have the same
root.<br>
<br>
As workaround you may try to choose an other file open mode (e.g.
details). before powerpoint tries to preview the first presentation.
Maybe it's necessary to create a directory in the directory that is
opened by the file open dialog at first (to prevent Powerpoint from
rendering a preview). You have to renew this setting after every start
of Powerpoint.<br>
<br>
I already opened a WINE-bug (#3125) for this.<br>
<br>
